Tommy Tremble at the podium! Must be my birthday... two of my favorite Panthers today. Interrupted his JUGS session with Chuba but is getting right back to it after he's done at the podium. Doesn't have a set number that they go for anymore but go until they get it right because that's what being a pro is. Focused on being perfect in it, not just getting through it. Practice you try to get perfect so that you can execute in the game without thinking. The kind of work ethic him and Chuba are showing is also being showed by the rest of the guys on the team. Feels like nobody being too good for more work is bonding them tighter. Few rookies last year, especially towards the end of the year, were asking how they were asking how Tremble + Hubbard were still out there giving extra. They responded, "This is the dream. What wouldn't you give for your dream?" and that seemed to rub off on them. DBs have been a pack of dawgs since he's gotten here and Jaycee is a baller that can create checkmates. Has been amazing having him back in camp. His game is cool, calm, and collected. Can be technical, physical, play with speed, play with length, etc. Premiere corner. Tries to do as much as he can for the guys in the meetings by paying attention and answering questions when he's been unable to practice. Together they're a team and if he's not doing his best to help everyone around him it becomes a "me" thing. Trust each other, trust what the coaches have taught them, and go have fun against other guys. Will get to tee off a little more and have a good time playing football. At the end of the day, nothing is different practicing with the Jets.

Shaq Thompson up to start! Likes that he's back. Sucked that he was out but had to get healthy to be out there 100%. Only thinking about the defense and they look good but have things they need to tighten up a little bit. Making good progress and is very happy. Jaycee is one of those physical CBs that they need that is going to talk his mess. When he's on the field they know they have a physical lockdown corner that completes the defense. "Forget Brian! We don't need Burns!" Followed up with that's his guy and glad he got paid to go to NY. Happy to be out there with Clowney and the other guys, happy to be Clowney and the young guys' security blanket that can help them out with filling information gaps. Ended it "But forget Burns!" lmao Shaq having good fun with the reporters and asking them to repeat/reword questions. Re-emphasizes that he's focused on the defense and isn't commenting on the offense. Evero is emphasizing turnovers (strip attempts, shots on the football, etc). Top defenses in that category had about 66 attempts per game on the actual football. Have to log more attempts. Sounds like analytics playing a role here. Was hurt and didn't know how many they had last season. No fighting, he's an old head. Just come out and practice. It's a great opportunity for the team and young guys to see how a HoF practices in Rodgers. Limit fights and get the great work. Working on tackling, raking, etc. Every time the ball is in somebody else's hands, take the shot. Shy Tuttle INT was a 10 out of 10. Big man INTs are always the best. Been a little different but been a blessing to get to go home to the wife and kids. Gets to see them before bed and before they go to school which is awesome. Helps a little bit with getting into his routine. Did love the time away from family due to the bonds that were built, but this does get him ready for regular season because that's how it's going to go. Asked about the rookie talent show. "They did aight." Trevin tried to do extra but they told him to stop because his was wild. Graded out as a C, so they need to come back and do better. (I'm willing to bet that Wallace sang "Pound Town" at this point lmfaoooo) 1v1s vs Jets is gonna be game-like reps. Gotta take care of each other but still have to make sure fits are right, take shots on the ball, and have a hell of a practice. Likes to get that first hit in. "Thank you, don't ask for me again!" Sheena Quick responds, "Yeeea right. Thanks Shaq!"

Woa there. That's homer talk that the red blooded Panthers fans don't take kindly to!

Waiting on the press conference

Hope they had the oxygen ready for him. That's a whole lot of him to be moving down the field.

Big man INT! Waiting to see if the mad lad Evero had Shy dropping into coverage or if he sniffed something out at the line.

Might not be as bad as originally feared!

I understand that you don't want to see the other side of the argument you've chosen to be on, but that's required in order to have a good faith conversation. You cannot genuinely sit here and tell me that you've seen just as many threads get taken over by support for Bryce as there have been those taken by folks finding ways to bring Bryce up for topics that don't involve him. That's why the pearl clutching over the roles being reversed this morning are laughable at best, willfully misleading at worst. There's a reason that the previous thread was a compliment sandwich thread, and it wasn't because folks were being deliriously optimistic about the team. It was because the same group of 4 - 5 posters did what they've done the entire offseason: tanking threads with their tears. This is clearly not going to go anywhere that involves any type of agreement, so I'm going to disengage and stick with copy/pasting tweets because, well, you definitely aren't as bad as the 4 - 5 posters that were brought up. I appreciate the back and forth and look forward to future convos.
